A New Year!

 

My Daughter and me during our vist to see hubby in Germany this year

Hi everyone! I am privileged to take on the role of blog leader for 2011.  I have had the pleasure of being a part of the Etsy Homefront Team since 2009 and have been looking for a way to stay more connected to all that is going on with this team.  And There is A LOT of goings on let me tell you! 

I have a loose agenda for the things that we will begin to experience within this blog space together as a team and with the outside world which I hope will help to educate people about the unique lives that military families experience - both the fun times and the most difficult times.  I admit that I am new to this military life and I guess I see this place as a lifeline that I definitely needed to reach out to (I will share more in one of our NEW features which I hope you will all want to engage in as well).

Ok so all this to say THANK YOU for the year that we will experience together. 

Must- Have Mondays - New Year's Resolution Helpers

With the end of December, we find ourselves at the conclusion of another holiday season (hopefully intact, albeit a little less rich) and the beginning of a new year. And as ritualistic as it may seem, we all have a tendency of making ourselves promises of great changes and new endeavors, fondly acknowledged as New Year’s Resolutions. These great finds from some Etsy Homefront Team Members, may help you ring in the New Year with an artistic flair, and hopefully motivation to get your resolutions in gear.
